Beyond the traditional jeep safaris, Greetoe Wildlife Resort offers an extraordinary
perspective on wildlife – from the water. Our exclusive boating safaris on the Ken River
(Panna) and Banas River (Bandhavgarh) provide intimate encounters with riparian
ecosystems rarely experienced by most visitors.

Gliding silently through morning mist, our traditional wooden boats approach wildlife
without engine noise. This unique approach reveals secretive creatures: fishing cats
patrolling shorelines, otters playing among rocks, and even tigers cooling themselves
during summer heat.
Water margins create natural wildlife highways where predator and prey alike must visit.
From safe distances, witness deer herds alert for danger as they drink, crocodiles
basking on sandy banks, and kingfishers plunging with remarkable precision after fish.
Birdlife along these waterways is spectacular year-round but reaches peak diversity
during winter when migratory species arrive. Bar-headed geese rest during their
remarkable Himalayan journeys, while brahminy kites perform aerobatic displays
overhead.
Our experienced boatmen, born and raised in riverside villages, share generations of
knowledge about seasonal changes, wildlife behavior, and local folklore connected to
these life-giving waters that have sustained both wildlife and human communities for
millennia.
